When a merger is imminent, the organisation’s board, management and staff are faced with the natural barrier of struggling through power, politics and personalities. The adoption or rejection of “our way, our brand, our systems” becomes the focus, instead of what’s best practice for the merger process and the future of the new organisation.
Community Business Australia can help guide you through this process.
Our approach ensures all parties understand the big picture. It helps determine the strategic direction and adds clarity to the board’s new governance roles and responsibilities.
We can help put in place agreements to follow the merger process and engage your people in the process to plan your future.
